“Conclusion – hire Whizarts.”
My husband and I are based in London but wanted to do a pre-wedding shoot in Penang, his hometown. We scoured for photographers and it made us realize that a lot of the mainstream professionals are based in KL and needed to be flown in. However, we felt that we would have better peace of mind to use someone local having experience shooting in the many beautiful locations Penang rich heritage has to offer. Finally, we found a Penang-based Whizarts led by Ke Wynn. His repertoire is large, but there were some pictures on their blog and website that really struck a chord and we knew we were on the same wavelength in terms of the type of pictures we wanted.
The pre-wedding shoot in Penang was something both of us were very anxious and excited about. The temples, pre-war houses, colonial architecture and cultural museums of Penang resonate much more in Malaysians as we have grown to know it as our history and values. With Ke Wynn behind the lens, he was very quick to interpret our requirements and on the day of the shoot, was able to compose the pictures easily so that we captured the right mood and environment.
We found it really easy to work with Ke Wynn and he was very good at putting us at ease. During the whole process, he taught and guided us through various poses that were very flattering for the camera. I believe every couple has their “moment of truth” with photographers, when they finally are able to view their work for the first time to see what the end product is. Ke Wynn didn’t let us down.
Ke Wynn put together our slideshow in 24 hours and kindly agreed to include some pre-wedding pictures that we took in London. It served as the perfect start to our wedding dinner and we received so many compliments that night and till today. We really loved the end results, and there are some amazing shots which according to our guests, reminded them of the movie “In The Mood For Love”.
Ke Wynn and Alishia, thank you both so much. The pictures are truly phenomenal and we are very impressed and will vouch for you. It’s definitely something we will treasure forever and by the way, we still watch the slideshow every now and again! Can’t help it!”
